It is amazing how so many people want to come to Tamarindo for a beach vacation and save big money on their dental work.

Medical tourism (also called medical travel, health tourism or global healthcare) is a term initially coined by travel agencies and the mass media to describe the rapidly-growing practice of traveling across borders to obtain health care. However, what is also becoming more, it also refers pejoratively to the practice of healthcare providers and doctors traveling internationally to deliver health care services.

Medical Tourism for Dental Work - getting a free beach vacation in Tamarindo Costa Rica is good for your teeth

Did I say Doctors? – More and more specialty dentists are now traveling to Costa Rica and either being assisted or assisting local doctors. And why not, they can charge way less and at the same time, practice good medicine without governmental strings.

Probably the best example of this is my personal experience on dental. To make a long story short, I needed some teeth extractions and crown/bridge work the cost in the US was around 5000-US$6000. After shopping around I found a great dentist who performed the work for around $1200. Costa Rica is no different. Even when you throw in the cost to get to Costa Rica, hotels, food, a white water rafting trip, canopy ride and a few days of sport fishing, you come out ahead,

These dental services include elective procedures as well as specialized work such as dental implants, crowns, veneers, etc. After dental work a patient may go home to finish the procedure, but most take the opportunity for some relaxation. Tamarindo is a perfect place!

However, the biggest problem is bias minds - hesitation on traveling is the informal channels of communication-connection-contract, and the doubt that the medical services are less regulatory or a legal oversight to assure quality and less formal recourse to reimbursement or redress, if needed. To many people still think that Costa Rica is a Third-World country and their doctors, nurses and hospital are still living in the dark ages with voodoo type care… it is simply not true. Tamarindo, Costa Rica has some of the best dentists in the world!
